Anthropogenic Global Warming Or Panic Mongering.

Al Gore

If weather is a subset of climate, and warm weather is evidence fo global warming, therefore cold weather would be evidence a lack of global warmiung, or even global cooling.   Not so says Andrew C. Bevon, New York Time [1]s. 

The world has seen some extraordinary winter conditions in both hemispheres over the past year: snow in Johannesburg last June and in Baghdad in January, Arctic sea ice returning with a vengeance after a record retreat last summer, paralyzing blizzards in China, and a sharp drop in the globe’s average temperature

It is no wonder that some scientists, opinion writers, political operatives and other people who challenge warnings about dangerous human-caused global warming [2] have jumped on this as a teachable moment.  

Rick Moran, Right Wing Nut House [3], examines the asymetrical logic of the antropogenic global warming panic mongers:

I’m no scientist. Neither is Nobel Prize winning global warming alarmist and hypocrite Al Gore. Nor are the legions of global warming deniers who are pointing to a stretch of cold weather as “proof” that global warming is a myth.

We are, most of us, not qualified in any way, shape, or form to make any kind of technical or scientific judgment on most of the evidence relating to climate change unless we happen to hold an advanced technical degree and are able to examine that evidence in its totality and not pick and choose headlines that bolster one’s political position on the issue.

Rick is not a scientist.  I am not.  And neither is Al Gore.
